Mike London

"I mean, coming to Howard, it's not a football school right now," Caylin Newton said last month. "It will be."

The undersized freshman quarterback - whose brother happens to be a former NFL MVP, guy named Cam - wasn't trying to make headlines. He was speaking matter-of-factly, in a cramped office, before an early-season practice. He hadn't even been named the school's starter yet, although he was confident that moment would arrive. But Newton seemed absurdly certain that his new school - which he selected after not getting offers from any Power-5 programs - was ready to take off, and soon.
